XAS investigation on polyvalent cation intercalation in V₂O₅ aerogels

Abstract

In this report are presented the results of XAS investigations on zinc intercalated V20 s. EXAFS spectra recorded at the Zn k-edge showed differences in the first shell of intercalated Zn 2 as the concentration increased. The interaction of zinc ions with the surrounding V20 s aerogel structure is discussed as well.
